Winter Park Colorado Snowboarding

Winter Park, Colorado, is a year-round, high country playground that is unmatched in natural splendor. Winter Park takes the freeriding freenzy to an elevated level with a superpipe and three terrain parks. Snowboarders will think they've died and gone to heaven when they see what's on offer here.

Rail Yard Terrain Park on Allan Phipps trail is the place for experts. It's packed with 25 rails—including a couple 30-foot banked C rails and a 15-foot trapezoid—and 16 components such as kickers and spines. The 450-foot superpipe is 50 feet wide at the base and has 18-foot walls.

The terrain park on Jack Kendrick trail has rails and features for intermediate riders. The under-vert minipipe here allows you to get a feel for edging and flow technique in a pipe. Discovery Park has small entry-level features for beginners to get used to being in the air and shifting weight.

While Mary Jane is famous for its bumps, it also boasts smooth glades and chutes off of the Summit Express and Challenger lifts. Catch them on a powder day and you'll feel like a hero. Overall, the Mary Jane terrain is ideal for experts and advanced-intermediates, plus it's easy to negotiate with no flat runouts.
